All humans (and creatures) have emotions. Humans are the most expressive, emotionally complex, and socially sophisticated of all (Darwin, 1872).

So how does this all sit with an educational robot that does not understand these basic human processes.

It is my understanding, through research, that robots do not have sophisticated programming in relation to emotions and emotional communication and therefore cannot provided emotional needs to students.

​Ultimately, my job is safe - Robots cannot replace teachers.

Communicating and Celebrating my Understanding

My job is safe! Robots, currently are not equiped to provide students with hauora they require in order to be connected citizens of the world.
